# Fluent 2 × Material Design — composed image prompt

# Fluent 2 carries the structure and Material Design appears as the accent.
# Style descriptors only. This prompt names no artist, studio, brand or work.

Produce four original images that take their structure from Fluent 2 (style, 2022–) and their accent from Material Design (style, 2014–).

## What to make

Make the kind of thing Fluent 2 exists for: business UI at home in Windows and Microsoft 365 that several teams must keep identical, or replacing an existing product in stages so theme and state stay consistent across products. Choose one subject and hold it across all four.

## Structure comes from Fluent 2

- Mica and Acrylic
- Neutral tonal hierarchy
- Soft corner radii
- Tokenized depth

Composition: Fix spacing to multiples of one base and keep density variants as separate tokens. Type and lettering: Define size and leading as tokens and never hardcode values in a screen.

## Accent comes from Material Design, used sparingly

- Hierarchy and shadow expressed by elevation
- Surfaces overlapping like sheets of paper
- Motion that shows cause and effect
- A standardized unit of spacing

Let one material quality come from it: Give surfaces elevation and show front and back by the density of the shadow.

## Colour and feeling

Build the ground on #f1f3f5, carry the structure in #6b8eaa and #242a31, and let a single accent come from #6a5996. These are read off real works, so a direction rather than a fixed palette.
Feeling to carry: trust, technique, calm, play.

## What goes wrong

- Fluent 2: Match blur and shadow to surface role, window state and light, dark and high contrast. Adding one off colors and paddings per screen turns the unifying system into one more thing to maintain.
- Material Design: Do not add shadow as decoration. The moment the elevation rules break, the hierarchy is telling a lie.

## Across the four

Keep the roles fixed in all four. Vary the framing, the scale and the arrangement so the set shows what this pairing can do rather than four versions of one picture.

## Constraints

- Do not imitate, reference or name any specific artist, studio, brand, character or copyrighted work.
- Do not reproduce the composition of an existing work.
- Produce original compositions in the general period languages described above.
